Most beautiful spots on the Lake of Lucerne

Meggenhorn Castle is a lovely 17th century castle located on the peninsula of Meggen on the northern shore of the Vierwaldstättersee (Lake Lucerne). The estate has been open for public since 1974 and has no entrance fee. It’s scenic and peaceful spot, popular with the locals, but not yet discovered by the masses of tourists.
Apart from the lovely Meggenhorn castle, Meggenhorn estate includes small chapel, vineyard, orchard, pastures, garden, a farm, a large adventure playground for kids, and picnic spots, all connected with numerous walking trails.
Down by the lake you can find couple of swimming areas. Most of them are small and are not ideal for non-swimmers as the water gets deep quickly, but are perfect if you just want to relax by the lake. Also down by the lake, 5,5 meters high statue of the Christ can be found. Commissioned by the owner of the Meggenhorn estate after she recovered after the nearly fatal disease, was made by local sculptor Josef Vetter.
